Very nicely paced got to see parts of the city I would. Not have known about with out a tour. My favorite is world fair fountain just beyond Arc de triumph.
Lovely tour in a small group. Our guide was very informative but lacked engagement with the group. Surprised helmets weren't compulsory as we often crossed city traffic. It's still a very good way to get inside the city and understand its history.

Terrific bike tour with Stephanie -- charming, smart, knowledgeable, gracious, entirely fluent English speaker, wonderful guide. Strongly recommend for anyone who enjoys life on two wheels; the vast majority of the rides are in protected/separate lanes and Stephanie kept close watch for stragglers, etc. Learned a lot of history, too -- glad to recommend without hesitation.

BEWARE THEY WILL CANCEL YOU IF THEY DON’t GET ENOUGH BOOKINGS!!! I was so looking forward to this experience and they canceled Same thing happened in Madrid about 6 months ago I’m not sure if it’s a company thing or Spanish culture
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience.

We always aim to communicate as early as possible and avoid inconveniencing our guests. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you on a future visit and provide the experience you were hoping for.
